Mets and Jason Bay "part ways" Only bad part is Bay is taking $21mil with him. How bad do you have to be if a team pays you $21mil not to play for them? Only good part is that , different than an outright release, the $21 mil will be deferred and stretched out over a number of years. But also different is that Bay will be allowed to become a FA and steal money from another team. Somebody will take a chance and sign him. Bay is the second person I know from Canada that turns my stomach.

I'm also hearing that the money saved this year is fairly insignificant. Mets paying most of $21 mil this year.

Buyer beware...and wouldn't we all like to leave our current job and still get our salary then find another paying job.
